I'm caught in a psychological rift... [not really, but I felt like being dramatic]I used to LOVE Platinum, but I realized that I was getting too obsessed with it, so I turned it in. [You know something's up when you spend more time inside on pokemon wfi chatrooms than outside during Summer] I can't decide if I want to get soul silver some time or not... I suppose I could always just set myself limits, but I would still have to deal with my older sister. ["Pokemon is for seven year olds! Has your IQ dropped yet? Am I annoying you? Blah blah blah."]

110percentful: If there's a problem with yourself after spending more time on Platinum than outside during summer, I need to be committed. And if your sister says it's for seven year olds, shove the fattest Pokemon manual you can find in her face and say, "CAN A SEVEN YEAR OLD READ THIS?" And walk away, playing HeartGold

Talking to the pokemon is so adorable! That's the only word I can really think for it. My pokemon keeps doing funny/ strange things (sniffing the floor, accidentally bumping into me, ect). I feel this game is just going to keep getting better.

@110percentfulIf you weren't sure if you'd like this game, then I could make an argument as to why you would. But since your worried about liking it too much... that's a tough one. You really have to decide for yourself if you're going to be able to be a more responsible gamer for this game. Man, pokemon is DEEP!

Mine never feeling like talking to me. I even bake them delicious berrie pastries like a good mother D: And as for the addiction... I mean, really? Just gain self control. Save, power off, have someone hide the DS and any sharp objects that you may threaten them with after 5 minutes of not playing, and take your PokeWalker for a stroll outside. Oh, and have pie. Yum, pie. ._.

I GOT HEARTGOLD!!! The intro is so awesome, and I'm already preparing my army of Metapods . To bad they sold out of Ho-Oh figurines .

Edit: Also, the PokeWalker is much smaller than I expected...

Metapods? Army? How are you to win with that? O_O And I never expected it to be larger. The screen is a real let down (barely seeable in moderate lighting and way too small for adequate information.

Yes. My army of demon Metapods. Soon, my Metapods will be able to defeat every trainer alive, and I will be the very best, like no one ever was. HARDEN UP!

My quirk is that I don't like any of the wild pokemon so far, so I only have my 36 Quilava, 17 Prinplup, and 31 Pichu. Do you guys know any good Pokemon from Johto that I can catch? (I'm going to Olivine City after buying the medicine for the Lighthouse Pokemon).

I was playing this til midnight last night and I clock about 8 hours of gameplay, and I made it out of the forest. I just got my Spikey eared Pichu (its so cute ), but I think I will put it in the PC for later because its lv.30 (starts at that level) and is way stronger than my other pokemon. But I think I'll pick up the pace now.

Today I had my pokewalker in my pocket during school (except for gym cause I wasn't gonna risk it falling out of my pocket), and I got 114 watts. Seems like it wasn't much, but then again you sit all during school. And I think I will take another walk sometime today. ;3

I never thought about explaining Ivs and EVs to her... I bet she would enjoy that! /sarcasmAnyways, I've decided I want to get them sometime. I'll just summon up the self-control I used when I first got electroplankton. As for my sister.... do I really care what she thinks about my games? I never have, even if she got annoying sometimes.

Just picked up my reserve copy of SoulSilver an hour ago. I'm still trying to pick a starter. I'm tempted to go with Cyndaquil, since he's an old favorite, but on the other hand I fell like being adventurous and getting Chikorita (which I never picked before). Suggestions?

Also, how far in the game do you have to be to get that Pokewalker working?
